In fact, digging a grave was really hard work. Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu worked until the sky turned dark, then finally dug a rough outline of the grave.
At that moment, the graveyard was quiet and gloomy. Even though the two of them were sweating profusely, they still felt a chill run down their spines.
Cui Lizhu even prayed as she shoveled the soil, "Mom, please protect me. Mom, please protect me."
Because of the metal detector, Zhao Yu knew the location of the box. He estimated that it wouldn't take long for them to dig it out.
He was also mentally prepared. Once the metal box really contained Tao Xiang's treasure, he would immediately call the police and ask for backup. If Cui Lizhu really wanted to do something, he would use force to prevent her from making any more mistakes.
However, Cui Lizhu didn't know the depth of the treasure box, so she was still digging at the bottom of the pit. She didn't seem to have any special intentions.
Dong!
At this moment, Cui Lizhu's shovel landed on a hard object, making the sound of metal colliding against metal.
"Hey?"
Cui Lizhu was delighted. She quickly turned on the flashlight function on her mobile phone and shone it at the target. Zhao Yu also quickly went to the bottom of the pit and looked carefully. He saw a silver-white metal object under the soil!
"It's … It's a box!"
Cui Lizhu was excited. She immediately changed to a small shovel and began to dig along the edge of the metal box. Zhao Yu also helped.
It didn't take long for the two of them to dig out part of the box. However, because the box was very deep, most of it was still buried in the thick soil, so it wasn't easy to dig it all out.
However, the lid of the metal box was completely exposed, so they could open it.
"No way! Why is there a lock? " Cui Lizhu checked carefully and found that the old box had a total of two locks. One required a password, and the other required a key.
"Can you open it?" Zhao Yu asked. "You are the daughter of the king of thieves!"
"I know the password. My dad told me! As for the lock, of course I can open it, but … "Cui Lizhu said awkwardly." I don't have any tools right now! Without tools, it's impossible to open it! Let me take a look first … "
As she spoke, Cui Lizhu carefully fumbled around a few times and found that the password on the box could be rotated. She then matched the numbers according to the password in her memory.
In the end, with a crisp click, the first lock was easily opened. However, the positions of the two locks were interlaced. Just opening the first lock could not open the box.
"It's muddy!" Cui Lizhu carefully checked the hole, then said helplessly, "This is a graveyard, so we have to go to the city to buy tools! But, at this hour, many places are already closed, right? And … "Cui Lizhu winked at Zhao Yu. She was implying that it would be inappropriate for either of them to stay here and look at the treasure chest.
"How about …" Cui Lizhu took a step back and said, "Let's continue digging until we get all the boxes out!"
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu thought for a moment and realized the complexity of the matter. Looking at the size of the box, if it was really full of treasures, the electric scooter that Cui Lizhu had stolen obviously wouldn't be able to carry it.
"Well … let me take a look …"
As he spoke, Zhao Yu came forward and took Cui Lizhu's place. At the same time, he opened the tool bar and used a universal lockpick.
Once the lockpick was used, no matter how advanced the lock was, it couldn't be stopped.
However, Zhao Yu was an expert in acting. He knew that at this time, he couldn't let Cui Lizhu know what he was capable of. Therefore, he made a gesture of Qi circulation, and then cooperated with the lockpick and shouted "Ah!". Only then did he suddenly open the second lock!
"Did you see that? This is called 'strength creates miracles'! " In order not to arouse Cui Lizhu's suspicions, he exaggerated and showed off. "Don't admire me, I'll be proud!"
Cui Lizhu didn't think too much about it. She just wiped the sweat off her cheeks and gave him a look of disdain.
Seeing that both locks had been opened, the next second, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu's hearts couldn't help but race. The two of them stared with their eyes wide open and held their breath, waiting for the moment to come to witness a miracle!
The box was made of metal, so even the lid was unusually heavy. Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu each reached out with one hand, then worked together to open the lid!
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, an old and damp smell came out. But strangely, along with this damp smell, there was actually a fishy smell.
Zhao Yu reflexively used an Invisible Air Detector that could detect the quality of the air. In the end, the detector confirmed that the air in the box was normal, and there were no toxic side effects.
Zhao Yu was relieved, then looked into the box with Cui Lizhu.
"Hey?" At this time, Cui Lizhu noticed the problem and immediately frowned. "Why … Why is it black?"
Yes … Zhao Yu felt the same way.
He thought that it would be like when he first found the Golden Buddha treasure. At first glance, he would see gold and silver and dazzling jewelry! He didn't expect that it would be dark inside the box!
"It can't be? Could it be empty? "As Zhao Yu spoke, his heart had already plummeted.
"No … This is … What is this thing?" Cui Lizhu almost reached into the box with her mobile phone. After seeing what was inside, she didn't dare to reach out and touch it. She picked up the shovel from before and reached into the box, then moved it a few times.
As the shovel moved, the black thing inside gradually became clear.
"This is …" Cui Lizhu was still looking down, but she suddenly saw what it was.
"Ah!!!!"
Cui Lizhu was so scared that her whole body trembled. She dropped her phone and her shovel. She fell backward and sat on the ground!
"Oh my god …"
Zhao Yu was also holding his mobile phone and looking into the box! He saw what was inside at almost the same time as Cui Lizhu!
It was actually a human head!
"How … How … How …" Cui Lizhu was so scared that her face turned as white as a sheet. She trembled and asked Zhao Yu, "Is … Is this real?"
At this moment, even Zhao Yu, who was usually insensitive, was so scared that his face turned pale and his scalp went numb.
He saw very clearly that what was inside the box was definitely a human head! Although most of the head had become a burnt and moldy skeleton, there was still hair on the head!
It wasn't fake, it was real!
And … And … Suddenly, Zhao Yu felt his nerves go numb, as if the blood in his body was blocked.
In order to confirm his thoughts, he once again held up his mobile phone and shone it into the box.
The skull was at the corner of the box. Zhao Yu reached in and grabbed the shovel, then moved it to another place.
It turned out that there was a layer of water at the bottom of the box. As the shovel moved, something gradually came out from the water.
Oh my God!
Suddenly, a strong feeling of suffocation came over him, which made Zhao Yu completely dumbfounded!
"1 … 2 … 3 …" He counted with a numb expression, and only stopped when he counted to "6"!
